This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

NEW Here is the full email that Musk/OPM is sending to 2 million federal employees. Subject line: What did you do last week? Musk claimed on X that failure to reply would be considered a resignation, but that is not mentioned in the email.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

having a normal one

Save the graphic & FREE NYT link for when MAGA comes into your comments with their “so you don’t want to investigate fraud I guess” bullsh*t www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

X is now a Russian style state media social media outlet, journalist need to react to this new reality accordingly

Day after day of negative temps. The creek that flows through town is trying not to freeze over.

Insecure people frequently seek to clean out all the people they view as smarter and more experienced athan they are themself. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552. Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

Stop asking where former Vice President Kamala Harris is, she was right there willing to save us all from impending doom and many people failed her in order to choose doom instead just to see others suffer. Leave her the fuck alone, she owes no one anything.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Russia has Trump in its pocket. Trump is insane www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

“31% of Americans reported having no interest in supporting the economy this year…A quarter (24%) of respondents have even stopped shopping at their favorite stores because of their politics (Black: 35%, gen Z: 32%, Democratic: 31%)”

The DOGE team asked not what they can do for their country

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

BREAKING: New video from the Delta plane crash in Toronto shows the full extent to crash.

True words.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

In this last month I have made the mental transition from "air travel is very safe" to "at least it would be a relatively quick way to go"

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Wow, this is outrageous! DOGE claims they found fraud where 150 year olds were receiving Social Security! What a joke these incompetent, inexperienced folks running this department are! #BlueCrew #BlueCircleFamily🌈🦋 #BluePetPatrol💙🐾 #ProudBlue #Resist #TruthWarriors #antitrump #antimaga

Trump’s tradewar against our allies is predicted to lead to massive American job loses. On the upside, there will be a lot of new job openings in the fruit and vegetable picking industries.

No more Airbnb for me. Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia to join Musk’s DOGE, NYT says www.reuters.com/world/us/air...
